' Eat More Beans
Serve Van. Camp's pork and beans, and
see whatjybu save on your meat bills
Beans are Nature' choicest food 84 per cent nutriment. '
Lik meat In iood value not like it in cost.
You serve them only once a week, maybe, because they
are hard to prepare. They should bo a daily food. There
is far more reason for eating beans than potatoes. x x
You will eat them mora frequently when you know Van
Camp's. j . ; ,
Each can of Van Camp's means a meal
always ready to serve in ten minutes
' Heat the can in hot water then open. That's all.
Then you have a royal dish. Beans that are nutty, not
mushy. Beans that are mealy, not soggy. Beans that are
easy to digest, because of the heat that we apply in our
ovens. . ..".
Beans with sparkling tomato sauce baked into them.

Van Camp's pork and beans
baked with tomato sauce
There is no other brand that compares with them.
We pay $2.10 per bushel to get the best beans tha
, whitest and plumpest, all picked out by hand. We could
r buy beans for 30 cents.
We spend five times as much to make our tomato sauce
as some sauce would cost ready-made. We use only vine
ripened tomatoes.
That is how our beans get their sparkling test.
You will never be content with home
cooked beans when you once know ours
' Home-cooked beans are heavy and hard to digest, be
cause you lack sufficient heat. Our ovens are heated to
245 degrees. v .
Home-cooked beans are mushy and broken, because yr v
can't bake them in live steam, as we do. Ours are nutty,
mealy and whole.
Home-cooked beans lack our savor and rest, because tha
tomato sauce isn't baked with the beans, as we do it.

HULL WILL HAVE OPPOSITION
Ions Cons: res win an Not. to Be Itenoml.
" mated Without straggle in
Ills District.
((From a Staff Correspondent)
DEt8 MOINES.; Feb. 27 (Speclal)-After
weeks of predictions that Congressman J.
A. T. Hull, chairman of the house military
affairs committee and congressman from
the Seventh district of Iowa, would be re
nominated without 'opposition, It,, begins to
look as if the prediction were not to come
true. . Politicians have been saying all along
that the only hope of defeating Hull waa
In the. candidacy of Judge Nichols of Dal
las county. Judge Nichols has steadily re
fused to be a candidate.
Now, however, Senator C. C. Dowell Is to
be a candidate.' Though he has not author
ized an announcement of his candidacy,
his friends say definitely that he will be
a candidate. If Dowell Is a candidate It Is
morally certain that Judge Prouty, who
twice opposed Congressman Hull, will be
a candidate, Prouty's friends claim thut
he will win. They say that Dowell who has
been a supporter of Hull will draw Hull
votes, but will not attract any of tho op
position to Hull. N. E. Coffin, who has
been talked of as a candidate, and who
might draw some of tho progressive vote
which has been opposed to Hull, has defi
nitely said he will not ba a candidate.
With Hull, Dowell and Prouty In the field
predictions are being made that Prouly
will get tho nomination.'-1-
But there is still another rupvemrjit on
foot which has for Its object uniting all the
opposition to Hull In Howard Clark, an at
torney and law partner of Attorney Gen
eral Byers. If Clark is a candidate It will
be on the agreement that both Dowell and
Prouty aro not, and if that condition Is
brought about It Is entirely possible that
Hull himself, who has served sixteen yearj
in congress, may decide not to be a can
didate" again. . It Is known that Clark hai
been given assurances of very strong sup
port, and that within the last' few days.
The new situation in tho Seventh district
has arisen within the last week or two.
One thing seems assured and that is that
Hull will have opposition. The opposition
will either be Dowell and Prouty or else
Howard Clark.

The Situation In riatte.
COLUMRUB, Neb., Feb. 26 To tho Editor
of The fW: Your recent comments on the
party action In Flatte county betray on
Ignorance of conditions hero of which Jus
tlce demands that you be informed.
Whether Judge Howard's statements as to
"midnight conferences" or "meetings under
tho rose bush" contain any elements of
truth, or are simply pipe dreams, aro Im
material except to Indicate that there la
something wrong. Surely you know that
you do not have to' resort to anything of
the kind to get the support of the best re
publicans In the county.
The rank and file of the party In Platte
county have for years allowed the few
office holders and pass distributers to
make all tho noise, until It has come to
pass tbat the uninformed think that they
represent the party. Any movement to re
pudtate their actions or purify the party
has been promptly neutralised by false
accusations that they were Inspired by a
purpose to oust the postmaster, relocate
the postofflce, or something similar, around
which they could rally enough personal
friends to Carry out their purpose.
The present controversy grows out of
tha following facts, vis.: At the last gen
eral election It was difficult to get can
didates to file for the county offices be
cause of the prospect of almost certain de
feat. Our new primary law gave the can
didates authority to select the county com
mittee, and forvthe purpose of controlling
the party machinery these gentlemen filled
the ticket with "straw" men. When It
came to selecting the committee the candi
dates had little to say; less than a major
ity were present and the bosses conven
iently attended to the matter for them.
Since It became known that Roosevelt
would not accept a renomlnatlon the Taft
sentiment has grown ' very rapidly and
seems to be almost Unanimous In this com
munity. However, certain influences have
been at work to chahgo this tendency, and
It was rumored that unreliable parties were
trying to get on the national delegation
under Taft pretenses who could not be de
pended on, and that this would ba accom
plished by having the central committee
select the delegates who were friendly to
the scheme. To prevent a possibility of
such action a Taft club was organized,
which every republican In the county was
Invited to Join and a resolution waa unani
mously adopted requesting the central com
mittee to call a Convention to select the
delegates. When the! committee met these
facts were presented to them, but In spite
of all protests they proceeded to select
delegates and denied the people a conven
tion or a voice In tho matter, an that
end was accomplished through the be
trayal by proxies In disregard of positive
Instructions to the contrary. The other
members of the committee have called a
convention and their action Is endorsed by
the Taft league and a large majority of
the republicans of the county.
Where there has been no demand for a
convention and no objection to the com
mittee selecting the delegates there can
be no serious question, but It would seem
that the people have some rights, to be
honestly represented, when their will Is
made known so emphatically.
The action of the committee Is absolutely
unprecedented In Platte county and must
have been Irmplredby someone wholly In
different to the plainest principles of Jus
tice, and I have no doujat that Brother
Howard had a purpose In trying to connect
your name with It. SQUARE DEAL.

Fire damaged Fraternity hall, on Har
ney, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, to the extent of $3,000 and threw
fourteen lodges out of meeting places
Thursday morning. N. P. Dodge Co
owners of the building, had Just put It In
thorough repair and closed yearly leases
with fourteen lodges to meet there. The
owners carried $13,000 Insurance. The fra
ternal orders had their paraphernalia In
the building and It waa damaged or totally
lost, but was Insured.
The fire started from an overheated
stovo Under the stage in the rear c,f tho
mil, accuraing lo ganuur jayior, wno
first discovered the building on fire. A
dance was held In the hall Wednesday
evening by a secret society and a fire
was built in the small stovo under the
stage to heat tha dressing rooms. It is
believed the draughts of the stove were not
shut off properly befors locking the hall
for tho night.
Fraternity - hall Is In the rear of the
Central fire engine house, but as tha
flames had secured such headway before
the alarm was turned In a steamer and
hose cart from another engine house were
sent to help cope with tho fire. The fire
men worked for an hour before getting
the flames under control, confining them
to tho rear of the building, which Is of
frame construction. The main part of the'
building Is of solid brick. Tho Omaha
creche adjoins the hall on the west and the
children In the nursery were badly fright
ened when the fire was at its height.
Homo of Fourteen Lodges.
Fourteen secret societies occupied tho
hall, aa follows: Ladles" Cathollo associa

Most of the paraphernalia of the lodges
housed in tha hall la In tha front portion
of the building and la not believed to be
damaged ,to a great extent, except from
amoke. Scenery ' and lodge trappings In
the rear of the building and on the stage
are a total loss.
Fraternity hall was built in 1885 by tho
German Turnvercln, the society losing It
a few years lacr, however, on a mort
gage to an eastern concern. The original
cost of the structure was $30,000. N. P,
Dodge & Co. bought the building two years
ago and in that time spent $10,000 In re
modeling. The firm had Just succeeded
within the month in securing tenants for
the entire building.
MRS. ROY WILL PUSH CHARGE
fw York Actress Takes Place In
Spotlight During Murdar
Sensation.
PORTSMOUTH,' N. H., Feb. ' 27.-Mrs.
Paul Roy, or Glacta Calla, as she Is better
known, arrived here today from New York.
She was accompanied by a dozen or fifteen
reporters and newspaper photographers,
and as many mors met her when tho train
arrived here.
On tho trip from Boston Mrs. Roy talked
freely to her interviewers and posed many
times for the camera men.
Upon her arrival In Portsmouth shavwent
at onco to the office of County Solicitor
Batchelder, where, It waa understood, she
would make affidavits to her story of tha
death of Carklna and tho circumstances
both leading up to and following the
tragedy.
PARIS. Feb. 27. It Is now evident that
Roy fully expected he would have to an
swer a charge In connection with tha death
of Carklna, as It was learned today that
M. Ooron, a detective, was engaged by Roy
to collect testimony, and haa been working
on the caae for several weeks. Goron de
clared today that Glsc1a Calla on January
two days after the killing, gave her
agent In America a version of the occur
rence Identical with that now set forth by
Roy.
'She haa since changed her tactics,"
Goron continues, "and her sols object now
seems to be to Implicate Paul Roy as much
9 possible."
No steps have yet been taken to arrest
Paul Roy. The report . current yesterday
that a warrant had been received In Paris
for the arreat of Roy was Incorrect.

fact that If thla bill becomes a law It will

of water highways. From discussions al
ready had In the committee, It appears
likely that an amendment placing the exe
cution of the work In tho hands of the en

A decision favoring the owners of the
Jehosaphat mining claim in the contro
versy involving ownership of a portion
of tho townslte of Hartvlllo was handed
down by the Cheyenne land office today.
This decision , Is that the owners of the
Jehosaphat are entitled to that portion of
the town site covered by the Jehosaphat
claim and that this ground should have
been excluded from the patent to the
townslte granted by the general land of

will bo taken. The dispute relative to the

only Omaha buyer at the sale and Haydn
Bros, the only Nebraska firm name men
tioned as buyers at the sale.
In fact the goods were sold In such big
lots that It is not easy to understand how
it could be possible for any other firm In
this part of the country tp handle such
quantities. '
If anyone cares to dispute this statement
will publish a certified list of all the
firm names who made purchases at this
sale. I. W. MliM'"
